Magicbricks Property Listings Scraper - India, Newest Flats, Houses and Plots for Sale

Indian property-for-sale listings from Magicbricks, one flat, typed dataset row per listing: price in INR, price per sq ft, built-up, carpet and plot area, BHK, bathrooms, property type, resale or new, furnishing, possession, floor, locality, project and developer, RERA id, posted date and whether an owner, agent or builder posted it. Any city, newest first - so a daily run is a new-listing alert for Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Delhi, Hyderabad or any other city Magicbricks covers.

What you are paying for, honestly

The data comes from the JSON that magicbricks.com's own search results page pages with (/mbsrp/propertySearch.html). It needs no login or API key. What this actor adds:

• Getting past Akamai. Magicbricks sits behind Akamai. A plain HTTP client gets "Access Denied"; this actor presents a real Chrome TLS fingerprint and runs on residential proxies by default. Measured from the Apify platform on 2026-10-27: residential exits passed 8 of 10 and 7 of 10 sampled fetches, datacenter 4 of 10. A refused request is retried from a fresh address, up to five attempts.
• You type a city, not a code. Magicbricks searches by numeric city code (4320 is Mumbai). This actor resolves a name (Mumbai, Bengaluru), a slug (new-delhi) or a pasted search URL (https://www.magicbricks.com/property-for-sale-in-pune-pppfs) with Magicbricks' own search box and logs which city each line became. A city code is used as given.
• Price as a number. price_inr is Magicbricks' own numeric field in rupees, not a parse of "₹2.65 Cr"; the display text is kept beside it.
• A real "newest" sort. The search page's own "recent" form value does not sort at all (measured: same rows as no sort). This actor uses the "Most Recent" order, which was strictly newest-first by posted time on every page checked.
• Several cities, one run, deduplicated. A listing that appears twice in a walk (new posts shift the pages while it runs) is returned and charged once.

Input

Field	Type	Default	What it does
cities	array	mumbai, bangalore	City name, slug, search URL or city code, one per line. Required.
propertyTypes	array	all	Any of flat, house_villa, plot.
sort	string	newest	newest, price_asc, price_desc, relevance.
postedWithinDays	integer	-	Keep only listings posted in the last N days and stop each city at the first page with none. Needs newest.
minPrice, maxPrice	integer	-	Budget in rupees (5000000 = 50 lakh, 10000000 = 1 crore).
bedrooms	array	any	BHK counts, 1 to 6.
postedBy	array	all	Any of owner, agent, builder.
maxItems	integer	100	Most listings per city. Each listing is billed, so this is a spending cap.
proxyConfiguration	proxy	Apify residential	See the pass rates above.

Property types are grouped the way Magicbricks groups them on its own server: asking for any one apartment code returns every apartment-like listing, so flat covers multistorey and builder-floor apartments, penthouses, studio and service apartments; house_villa covers independent houses and villas; plot residential plots.

Limits measured

• 3,000 listings per city search. Magicbricks serves 30 listings a page and at most 100 pages; page 101 answers page 1 again. Mumbai reports over 61,000 listings for sale, but one search reads the first 3,000 - in newest order that was about the last three days of postings. The log says when a city hit this. Narrow by property type, budget or bedrooms to read further back.
• Busy cities post thousands a day. For an alert, schedule the run at least daily and set maxItems high enough to cover a day, or use postedWithinDays: 1.
• posted_at is when the listing was posted or last re-posted - that is the date Magicbricks sorts "Most Recent" by. A refreshed old listing comes back as new; key your alert on listing_id to tell.
• For sale only. Rentals, commercial property and PG listings are not covered.

Why null and not 0

A field Magicbricks does not send for a listing is null. Plots have no bedrooms, bathrooms or built-up area; most resale flats give no carpet area; about one listing in twenty has no price per sq ft; a basement floor has no floor number; and about one listing in six has its map pin at 0,0, which is "no pin", not a place in the ocean off Africa. A 0 in any of those would read as a measurement.

advertiser_name is always null on owner listings: there it is a private person's name, which this actor does not collect. Agency and builder names are business names and are kept.

Use it for

• A daily new-listing alert per city, BHK and budget, sent to Sheets, Slack or a webhook through Apify integrations.
• Asking-price and price-per-sq-ft tracking by locality or project.
• Owner-posted listings only (postedBy: owner), for buyers avoiding brokerage.
